About Theatre Bay Area welcome! Welcome to Theatre Bay Area’s 2018 Annual Conference. We are thrilled to return again this spring to downtown Berkeley as we gather together hundreds of theatre-makers from around the region and far beyond. We are excited for this chance to explore new venues as we meet new colleagues and reconnect with long-time friends and compatriots. This past year has brought a series of stunning developments here in the Bay Area, across the nation, and around the world. As we crafted the programming for this gathering, we aimed to address both the serious challenges and promising opportunities these local and global changes present our community. Our conference theme, “Seismic Shifts: Embracing a Changing Theatre Ecology,” speaks to the enormity of change and the potent mix of anxiety and hope we face in today’s theatre-making environment. Here today we have a chance to confront together those “seismic shifts” and to learn from each other new ways of navigating change and embracing the future. We like to say we make this conference together. While we will hear today from renowned experts, such as our keynote speaker, Professor John Holden, from the University of Leeds and Great Britain’s Clore Cultural Leadership Programme, we also depend on each of you to add your voice to the mix. Your expertise and perspective is essential for creating a day of shared learning and we invite you to engage vigorously in today’s wide range of conversations. Seismic shifts can leave destruction in their wake; they also offer a chance to rebuild in ways that are better and stronger. The changes shaking our community and our world give us an opportunity to create a better, safer, more equitable theatre-making ecology. Take time today to celebrate the work that you do and let’s imagine what it will take for all of us, working together, to build a better theatre and a better world.

    Presents THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL Written and Directed by Marielle Heller Based on the novel by Phoebe Gloeckner Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2015 101 mins Distribution Publicity Bonne Smith Star PR 1028 Queen Street West Tel: 416-488-4436 Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6J 1H6 Fax: 416-488-8438 Tel: 416-516-9775 Fax: 416-516-0651 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] www.mongrelmedia.com High res stills may be downloaded from http://www.mongrelmedia.com/ SYNOPSIS Like most teenage girls, Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley) is longing for love, acceptance and a sense of purpose in the world. Minnie begins a complex love affair with her mother’s (Kristen Wiig) boyfriend, “the handsomest man in the world,” Monroe Rutherford (Alexander Skarsgård). What follows is a sharp, funny and provocative account of one girl’s sexual and artistic awakening, without judgment. Set in 1976 San Francisco, THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL begins at the crossroads of the fading hippie movement and the dawn of punk rock. News commentary of the Patty Hearst trial echoes in the background, as Minnie’s young expressive eyes soak in a drug-laden city in transition— where teenage rebellion and adult responsibility clash in characters lost and longing. Minnie’s hard-partying mother and absent father have left her rudderless. She first finds solace in Monroe’s seductive smile, and then on the backstreets of the city by the bay. Animation serves a refuge from the confusing and unstable world around her. Minnie emerges defiant— taking command of her sexuality and drawing on her newfound creative talents to reveal truths in the kind of intimate and vivid detail that can only be found in the pages of a teenage girl’s diary.

  • Fiscal Year Annual Report 01 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report
    Sundance Institute Fiscal Year Annual Report 01 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report Welcome As we navigate another year of global events and changes that are defining our times, we again turn to artists for insight and inspiration. Artists who open our eyes to new worlds and new ways of understanding different perspectives. Artists who harness the power of storytelling to activate important conversations and actions. With deep and sustaining support provided to more than 1,400 artists, including over $16 million invested in labs, grants, and fellowships, Sundance Institute’s commitment to support the visionary work of independent artists is uncompromising this year. We’re excited to share with you our 2019 Annual Report that illuminates three critical pillars of our mission in action: supporting the most talented independent artists around the world and advancing their creative practices; fostering an inclusive community to hear from underrepresented voices on the screen and stage; and catalyzing the impact of independent storytelling. Thank you to the dedicated staff, volunteers, and community of supporters of Sundance Institute who all come together in the shared belief that a world more connected through storytelling and a common humanity is a better world. We look forward to what’s possible in the year ahead. Robert Redford President & Founder Pat Mitchell Chair, Board of Trustees Robert Redford Pat Mitchell 02 WELCOME Sundance Institute Annual Report Welcome I am constantly amazed by the curiosity and passion of artists, and inspired by their creative journeys—a process fueled by reflection, risk-taking, and an openness to new possibilities. In 2019, Sundance Institute continued its own creative journey as we saw great opportunities for learning and evolving our own work to respond to the changing environment for artists around the world.

  • Sony Pictures Classics Acquires Sundance Sensation the Diary of a Teenage Girl
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SONY PICTURES CLASSICS ACQUIRES SUNDANCE SENSATION THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL 'Diary' has been one of the most talked about films at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival NEW YORK (January 27, 2015) - Sony Pictures Classics announced today that they acquired the rights in North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand, Eastern Europe excluding Russia, Asia, Scandinavia and Germany to Marielle Heller's directorial debut, THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL. The film, based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Phoebe Gloeckner, premiered on Saturday at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, where it has been one of the most well received films by critics and audiences alike. K5 International is handling all international territories. Written by Heller, THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL stars Kristen Wiig, Alexander Skarsgård, Chrisopher Meloni and breakout phenomenon Bel Powley. The film is produced by Anne Carey, Bert Hamelinck, Madeline Samit, and Miranda Bailey and executive produced by Michael Sagol, Amanda Marshall, Jorma Taccone and Amy Nauiokas. THE DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL recounts the coming-of-age adventures of Minnie Goetze (Powley), a San Francisco teenager growing up in the counterculture haze of the 1970s. Lonely and artistic, Minnie chronicles her trials through expressive drawings and painfully honest missives confided to a tape recorder. One fateful evening alone with her mother's (Wiig) boyfriend (Skarsgård), Minnie is confronted with her burgeoning sexuality for the first time, and suddenly this precocious teen is in way over her head. "Discovering major writer/directors like Mari Heller is why we come to Sundance. There is no richer American movie at Sundance this year.
